If it behooves you, instead of thinking any more about Twitter—hit us with some PDFs, some incomprehensible sociology, a fact about your town, some poetry no one cares about, political theory that will never land, obscure social history, climate links, math things, some tech so obscure 20 people use it. We want your inner noise. Just push the gas on your own ephemeralism and launch us into the future.
@ftrain I’m using the bookmark feature constantly here, so much good stuff
@ftrain @jeffgreco shoot, I didn’t know that existed! Thanks! I had been using Pocket, which is good for saving threads, still

@jeffgreco @ftrain

did you know that if you favorite a post, Mastodon will index the post for full text search? this is how it works on my instance and maybe in other instances.

@hananc @jeffgreco @ftrain I did not know that - that's so useful
@ProfLouiseL @hananc @jeffgreco @ftrain The instance you're on needs to have ElasticSearch installed and configured, which is not always the case, but when it is, you can indeed do full text search inside your own statuses, mentions, bookmarks and favorites.
@hananc @jeffgreco @ftrain @Jools oh WOW this works on my instance!! Thanks!
@jeffgreco @ftrain I can’t figure out how to use the bookmark function. How?
@mswoods It might differ based on the app you're using, but on the official Mastodon app on Android, it's in the menu that pops up when you tap the three dots at the top right corner of a toot.
@andycook @mswoods
Looks like it's not available to everyone. I'm using a new Samsung S22 ultra and it's not on my menu of options ☹️
@superSpreader @andycook @mswoods it's not phone specific. It's the app or website
the ellipses on the right hand side under a toot. (I figured it out yesterday)
